Der Kardinal - Der Preis der Liebe (2000)
Horst Tappert plays a high-ranking dignitary in the Vatican who will soon be made a cardinal. But shortly before this goal, a young woman confronts him in the confessional and accuses him of hypocrisy. She reveals that she is his daughter, whose existence he did not know. Now he is faced with a choice: if he commits to her, he risks his appointment; If he denies her, he loses the only person who is close to him.
